    Was gonna post in my OP about this but didn't want to clog up the other thread. Basically, I owe xbox money because my brother was paying XBL monthly through his paypal. I don't have a paypal, nor does he have any money in his paypal. I don't have a credit card to pay off the remaining balance. I have a redeemable code but I can't use it until I pay off the balance. What am I supposed to do!!!!!???? I hate microsoft. Why would I even have an outstanding balance with them? They're idiots.

    Anyone know what to do?

    But if you sign up with another gamertag aren't you going to lose your Madden subscription?

    Will you have to buy another pass from EA?

    Didn't think of that actually. Good job I waited. I'll just have to call the xbox place tomorrow and see if they can sort it out. Can't wait to see how much a phonecall to England is gonna cost me on my mobile! I actually hate Microsoft

    Keep your gamertag

    Tell them you don't have a credit card which is actually true and you no longer use paypal.
    They'll put you on hold, talk to the bosses and say "bla bla, Microsoft care about our customers, we will write off the money bla bla"

    They will delete the existing payment options off your account, it'll be completely clear

    Then you have the xbox ready to go, type in your subscription number and test it. Should work

    Then you log back into Madden and lay down a beating :mad:

    You have to call them, it's not something you can do in that chat communicator thing they have
